Gotta get back on the train for this month!! DH and I have been spending like mad outfitting the new house. We are all moved in now and we pretty much have everything we need, minus a few small pieces of furniture. I'm going to shoot for 10 no buy days, but honestly I'll just be happy keeping my credit down to a reasonable amount each week.

I'll be honest.... I'm not even going to attempt a NO BUY goal for December. Between DD coming home from her semester abroad AND the holidays, I doubt that any goal I set would be worth the time and effort ! Good luck to everyone else and I will hopefully see you in the January 2016 NO BUY thread!............P

Well, November didn't work out so well so I am going to try again this month. I am done Christmas shopping so it should be easier, plus I need to save some extra money for my Disney trip. Just found out the job I just got has a start date that may not be until January now, so time to tighten things up! I think I'm going to put my goal at 15 no buy days, but shoot for more. I know Christmas eve-New years are basically out since I have a vacation then family coming to visit, so I will need to really be on it until then!
1: No buy (though I am now in the market for dog pepper spray after a scary run in with a mean stray today)
2: Buy (spray mentioned yesterday - hope I never need it $10.97)
3: No buy
4: No buy
5: No buy (but starting to get really bored, haven't really done anything since 28th...)
6: No buy
7: I was bad. Out to eat, a drink, heel liners for my flats and some nail polish to decorate my magic band (total: $38)
8: Bad again.. Chipotle for dinner and a new leotard for ballet (total: $31).
9: No buy
10: No buy
11: Not a no buy ($50)
12: Well I paid off my trip so definitely not a no buy...but yay Disney! [payday - for my reference later]
13: No buy
14: No buy
15: Dinner out with friends ($16)
16: No buy
17: No buy
18: Buy. Got a start date for work (finally!) and needed some work clothes. ($210, ouchie!)
19: Buy. More work clothes and a pair of flats that I hope don't suck. (I don't even want to talk about it $)
20: Buy, but only lunch and it was under $10.
21: No buy
22: No buy
23: Buy, last minute trip stuff - leaving tomorrow!
I leave for Disney in the morning and will be back on the 28th. I am not counting the Disney gift cards I got as gifts as spending, so we will see how far I make it on those alone! Fingers crossed most of the way!
24: Buy, starbucks on the way down
25: No Buy
26: No Buy
27: No Buy
28:Buy, lunch on way home
29: No Buy

Woo hoo! I was just going to start one for this month. Happy to see that it was already done.
I am going to aim for 15 No Buy Days. I actually hope to surpass this, but I thought it a good idea to aim slightly lower for the month because during the Christmas season, the unexpected purchases tend to pile up.
Anyway...
December
1-Spend--weekly grocery shop and gasoline fill up

New to this but could definitely use the motivation to save. I'm gonna shoot for 18 no spend days in December. That may be a little ambitious as we have a Disney trip this month, lots of Christmas shopping to do, and my cousins baby is due New Years Day but hey no harm in trying.

Not off to a great start, but I knew December would be crazy.
No Buy Days 6/12
1-No Buy #1
2-I couldn't leave my desk for lunch, so I had to get something from the office cafeteria
3-No Buy #2
4-groceries
5-No Buy #3
6-No Buy #4
7-started getting sick, ordered dinner
8-No Buy #5
9-still not feeling well, bought lunch
10-still sick, ordered dinner
11-bought my mom's holiday gift online
12-ordered dinner again
13-feeling spendy, I ended up getting myself a new dress at a boutique I found.......it was reasonably priced though!
14-No Buy #6
Halfway to my goal and just under halfway through the month, better than expected. Most weeks won't be as bad as the last one now that I'm recovering from the infection I had.

10/15 No Buy Days
Creeping my way closer to my goal! ALMOST blew it yesterday and ordered dinner, but I hung in there and DH was willing and able to cook, so we pushed a no buy through after all.
I am going to aim for 15 No Buy Days. I actually hope to surpass this, but I thought it a good idea to aim slightly lower for the month because during the Christmas season, the unexpected purchases tend to pile up.
Anyway...

Woo hoo! I was just going to start one for this month. Happy to see that it was already done.
I am going to aim for 15 No Buy Days. I actually hope to surpass this, but I thought it a good idea to aim slightly lower for the month because during the Christmas season, the unexpected purchases tend to pile up.
Anyway...

1-Spend--weekly grocery shop and gasoline fill up
2-No Buy #1
3-Spend--had to use up my Bulk Barn coupon before it expired

17-No Buy #9
18-No Buy #10
19-No Buy #11
20-No Buy #12
21-spend--car repairs, gasoline, lunch and dinner as we were travelling
22-spend--groceries, gasoline
23-No Buy #13
24-spend-last minute groceries
25-No Buy #14
26-spend--bought dinner, gasoline as we were travelling
27-#No Buy #15 (MADE IT!! WOOT!!)
28-spend--groceries, gasoline
29
30-spend-- to dinner and the movies
31
15/15 No Buy Days
I do not anticipate spending on the 29th and the 31st but we are going out for dinner and to the movies on the 30th. We have gift cards to cover the bulk of dinner as well as the movie tickets, but we'll need to pay for the tip with something other than the gift card and DH will likely want concession snacks at the theater, which will also make it a spend day.
